[DotA2] Holy Sword

No.18 Dust of battle development

On the day the two had just made an appointment, An Ronghe found a reason to say that he wanted to eat the food in the restaurant, so he pestered his parents to go to the newly opened branch.

The store is located near a famous hospital in Shang'an City.In recent years, various universities have cooperated with local hospitals to establish medical schools to achieve the effect of strong alliances. Therefore, ten years ago, the most prestigious general hospital in Shang’an was promoted by the leaders of both parties to cooperate with Shang’an. The university jointly established a medical school.Now it has achieved fruitful results, and won a national key laboratory the year before last. The competition for college entrance examination enrollment is very fierce every year.

With the addition of more majors in the medical school in recent years, the real estate, catering industry, and service industry in the entire area have flourished, and now it has become a new economic center.

And the new store opened in the largest shopping plaza in that area. As one of the main catering brands in the mall, there are several street sign advertisements on the small square outside the building as a guide.

The family of three sat in the dining area casually. The waiters in the store naturally did not know the big boss, but the service attitude was very good, and Father An was also very satisfied - the development of this store depends on the dishes and services .

After drinking and eating, An Rongyu honestly explained the purpose of his trip - to buy the set of bath products.Five-star hotels use international famous brands, no wonder they can directly fall into Yan Che's eyes.

Bewitched by An Rong and the eloquent tongue, An's mother walked to the counter suspiciously to conduct a field inspection.After that, after a lot of sales promotion by the cabinet sister, I not only bought the whole set of products, but also bought several bottles of the same series of perfumes.

Then, An Ronghe, who was acting as a coolie, thought to himself: If it wasn’t for spending all the money in a hotel a few days ago, there would be no need to invite these two giant Buddhas out of the mountain, and to see the dog food they scatter all the way. It’s really hard to say no out.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, under the coercion and temptation of the elders, he still ate a bowl of black sesame glutinous rice balls with his head depressed.Before going out, she even sprayed her body with perfume carefully, and didn't stop until it was a little choking.

After hearing that the Town God's Temple was about to hold a temple fair, the two elders also wanted to join in the fun, but the young man whose wings had grown hard refused sternly on the grounds that he "refuses to be a searchlight", and asked to go to the venue in batches so as not to hurt his young children. mind.

So the family split into two groups: An Rong and Yan Che met downstairs and took the subway to Chenghuang Temple; while the two elders wisely chose not to drive by themselves and went to a closer station to take the bus.

An Rongyu, who always wanted to make big news, pretended to be dressed "handsomely" tonight. He wore a dark blue and black T-shirt-style long coat casually opened, revealing the white sweater inside.Considering that he will have to stay outside for several hours, in order to keep out the cold, he wisely chose a combination of cropped straight-leg pants and tight trousers, and stepped on a pair of low-key combat boots.

When I bought this suit, the clerk said harsh words - wearing this suit to go out, my girlfriend and passers-by will have to laugh.

Yan Che's first words when the two met were: "You smell so good".

He was so handsome that he promised to salivate, how could it be so difficult to put Yan Che here?

On the other hand, Yan Che's plain black long down jacket exuded a warm atmosphere, and the turtleneck sweater looked a little more mature, but coupled with his warm face, he had the temperament of a Korean drama hero.

On the way, Yan Che carefully explained the activities at the temple fair, which sounded very exciting-guessing lantern riddles, viewing lanterns, setting off Kongming lanterns, viewing flowers, musical fountains, glutinous rice ball feasts and other various snacks. Reasons to strongly resist eating glutinous rice balls before heading out.

When I first heard that Town God's Temple was going to host a temple fair, netizens all said that such an ancient event, will anyone go?However, judging from the crowds at the moment, it can be seen that after getting used to Western festivals, the children have gradually realized the importance of their own traditional festivals.Although a large number of people just come to join in the fun, or celebrate Valentine's Day.

The closer he was to the Town God's Temple, the more excited An Rongyu became - he also checked the information on the Lantern Festival, and knew that it could really be called "Valentine's Day" in ancient times.Looking at the couple of sweet couples beside me, although I feel a little depressed, since Yan Che is at hand, I might as well numb myself and pretend to be a real date.

While having fun, Yan Che said plainly, "You look really nice in your clothes today," and then moved a little closer, and whispered, "I saw several girls secretly taking pictures of you."

The handsome and scheming young man didn't even notice that he was blushing, and he pretended to be calm and explained: "Brother, don't entertain me. I'll just wear whatever I want. They must be secretly taking pictures of you."

Although he said so, he was still happy in his heart-the clerk that day was really sincere.

The two chatted one after another, and there were more and more people around them, almost being squeezed into meatloaf.An Rongyu was quite able to have fun while suffering, desperately suppressing the corners of his raised mouth, his right hand was almost glued to Yan Che's left hand.

After passing through the long subway aisle, I finally followed the flow of people to Chenghuang Temple.They rarely come to this place, so they are not familiar with the buildings and streets here.Fortunately, today's festive season is prosperous, just follow others, and you don't need to find your way at all.

Coming out of the ground, the coldness of the winter night remained undiminished, the fine cold wind pierced through the fabric and pierced the skin, the pretentious boy wearing only two clothes finally felt the full malice of the midwinter weather towards him.

Walking near the landmark, the first thing that catches your eyes is a tall archway, which is said to be an ancient relic handed down from the Qing Dynasty.The already somewhat weathered and eroded cylinder was marked with landscape lights, and even in the dark night, the somewhat worn patterns on it could be seen carefully.

Passing through the door in the middle of the archway, there are already various snack shops on both sides. Traditional snacks such as cotton candy, sugar figurines, sugar paintings, and candied haws have attracted the attention of many young people. The peace and comfort of things.

Although he had already tasted marshmallows and candied haws, he hadn't tasted Tangrener and Tanghua yet. In desperation, he grabbed Yan Che's arm and walked towards the Tanghua stall.

Yan Che didn't say much, let himself be brought to the stall, and asked with a smile, "Want to eat this?"

Seeing that An Ronghe's eyes were shining brightly, he nodded his head twice.

Yan Che asked again: "Try turning it around?" Fearing that the other party would not understand, he pointed to the turntable next to the master.Twelve unequal grids are drawn on the round wooden dial, and each sector has a Chinese zodiac.There is no doubt that Long Zhige is the narrowest.

An Ronghe understood, and said "yes", then took a deep breath, and turned the pointer.

"Longlonglonglonglong... hey..." Amidst the sound of anticipation, the pointer stopped at the rabbit's grid. Before An Rong and Hengchi could wait, Yan Che patted his back, and then paid for the master to add Do a train.

A rabbit and a dragon were freshly baked in the crowd watching, and the big dragon was as peaceful and joyful as a mentally handicapped child, and they dragged Yan Che to a store's door lamp to take a group photo.

He, who was still laughing foolishly last second, turned on the camera, put the dragon on his face, and made a cold expression.Zi Che had a picturesque smile as always.

After sterilizing, he took a sip of the intricately crafted sugar dragon. He smacked his lips and said, "Brother, it's so sweet."

Yan Che kowtowed at the cute and cute little sugar bunny, and asked, "It's quite sweet, do you like it?"

An Rong and Wen Yan stared blankly at Yan Che, eyes full of tenderness, nodded, and replied: "I like it."

Before the candy paintings were finished, the silly boy dragged Yan Che to buy candy figurines again.I have to say that the craftsmen of these masters are really good. Every little figure is made lifelike, even the eyes are vivid.

Although these small gadgets are not big, it takes more than half an hour for people to eat them all.The two stopped by to buy something to drink, and followed the crowd to the lantern riddle venue.

Glancing at their watches, they saw that there were still 10 minutes to go, and the two carefully admired the layout of the venue.

The venue was set up in a long alley, and thin and long red lanterns hung under the eaves, revealing a faint red light.The long strip of paper hanging from the tail of the lantern is exactly the riddle.

In order to prevent unfair competition, the second floor of the building in the alley is supervised by staff. Once a mobile phone is found to be used, the lantern riddle will be invalidated.

As soon as the time came, the bustling crowd immediately poured into the alley.The people who came together discussed in low voices, for fear of being overheard the answer.

"Brother, it's so difficult, I can't think of any of them." An Rong and Leng didn't have any inspiration after hastily looked at a dozen lantern riddles.

"Come on, help me tear this piece off." Yan Che realized that he was struggling to reach it, so he spoke a little ashamedly.

"It's forbidden to herd sheep, beat a poet." An Rongyu read while tearing off this lantern riddle, "Brother, who is this?"

Because the organizer stipulated that only one riddle can be verified at a time, Yan Che directly dragged him to the staff.

When he got to the prize redemption place, Yan Che pulled his head off and whispered in his ear, "Du Mu, go and answer."

The red light in the alley flows quietly on everyone's face, and at this moment, it just covers up the spring heart on An Rong and his face.Just now, the warmth brought by Yan Che's slight breathing sound poured into every blood vessel along the earlobe. After a few seconds of stuttering, he stammered the answer to the staff and got the first one. A voucher of five yuan off the whole site.

Back in the alley, seeing a lot of people surrounded by a lantern, they also went to join in the fun.I saw that there were only five words on this long note: An, type an idiom.

"Brother, this is too abstract." After trying to think about it for half a minute, the Liying boy finally decided to give up.

"I get it, talk about it." After thinking for a while, Yan Che finally came up with the answer.

So in the shocked eyes of everyone, An Rongyu took down the note with an expression of "how lonely invincibility is".After walking to the prize redemption desk, Yan Che quietly told him the answer.

"It's impressive." An Rongyu replied.

"Young man, it's not bad!" the aunt at the prize redemption office repeatedly sighed.

Afterwards, with Yan Che's assistance, An Rongyu told a dozen lantern riddles, and even the aunt praised him for being smart, so he almost went to the venue with a loudspeaker to promote it.Holding this heavy 80 yuan voucher, An Rongyu felt the power of wisdom for the first time.

After guessing the lantern riddles, the two of them were thinking about where to squander this hot voucher, and just decided to go to see all kinds of glutinous rice balls from all over the world, when they heard someone call "senior" sweetly.

After seeing Yan Che turn around, An Rongyu also turned around with a blank expression.There were two men and two women in front of him, and the one who stopped Yan Che was a girl who was very well dressed and looked very cute.

"Senior, it's really you!" the girl blinked and said happily.

"Mengmeng, hey, there are you guys, do you want to come out to play together?" Yan Che still smiled so warmly, judging from his reaction, he should know all four of them.

The rest of the people also shouted "Hello, senior", and one of the boys said half-jokingly: "Senior, are you going out with your girlfriend?"

An Rongyu looked dazed, his thoughts were confused in the biting cold wind.Before he could think of what to say, Yan Che suddenly grabbed him and asked, "Have you ever seen such a masculine and handsome girlfriend?"

The other five people at the scene were collectively deflated. Obviously, they didn't expect Yan Che to have such a trick, but soon, he broke the awkward atmosphere by himself.

"Is your course design good?" Yan Che asked.

"It's out! It's finally over." The girl named Mengmeng answered first.

The remaining three also reported their grades one after another, and the boy who was joking just now even got an A.After a brief introduction, An Ronghe realized that these people were all undergraduates in the database course design taught by Yan Che's tutor at the end of last semester. Mengmeng, on the other hand, stalked and asked Yan Che every day, so she finally got a B.

For some reason, they became a team of six. An Rongyu squeezed out an awkward yet polite smile, expressing that he was very happy to go with them—in fact, he had already warmly greeted these four uninvited guests in his heart.

But Yan Che's right hand, which was supposed to be empty, was now tightly clinging to Liu Mengmeng, who looked innocent.An Rongyu saw it, and tried his best to suppress the irritability in his heart - he was not so angry even if he was blown out of the lane.

Afterwards, she just listened to Yan Che chatting with them, occasionally mentioning herself a few words, and Liu Mengmeng seemed to finally seize the opportunity after class to ask Yan Che about a topic that had nothing to do with study. At this time, her expression was almost happy Fly.

As a result, An Rongyu's answers became less and less distracting, most of the time they were extremely perfunctory "hmm".He couldn't help hating these people who took Yan Che's time alone with him, and also hated himself for being so narrow-minded.When I thought about how I thought I could smile and bless Yan Che when he found the love of his life, I felt that I was really too young.

I don't know how long they walked in such a low pressure, and suddenly heard the four people saying goodbye: "Then we'll go first, bye." It wasn't until Yan Che shook him that he finally realized that Yan Che was going to take him with him. He goes somewhere alone.

A smile finally appeared on his frozen face, and he couldn't remember what Yan Che had said to them, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and happily followed Yan Che to another direction.

"What's wrong? His expression was so scary just now." Yan Che asked with concern.

"It's nothing...Brother, are you on a good relationship?" An Rongyu put away his temper, but at this moment he still wanted to find out how good their relationship was.

"It's average. After all, I've only been with them for three weeks." Yan Che added, "If we didn't meet by chance today, we probably wouldn't have met again in the future."

Hearing these words, An Rongyu finally let go of his heart, but that Liu Mengmeng had a good impression of Yan Che no matter how he looked at it, so he didn't know whether to ask further, after all, he and Yan Che were just friends. How could it be his turn to be jealous?

However, the mouth is always faster than the brain. When he realized this problem, he was already shaking out angrily: "Brother, that girl... seems to like you."

Yan Che lowered his head and smiled, his expression seemed a little helpless, and then he said, "I know. But that's just a temporary throbbing, and it will fade after a while."

An Rongyu still felt that it was not enough, and continued to ask: "Then what if it doesn't fade?"

Yan Che replied very decisively: "Then we will think about how to reject her while causing the least damage."

Unable to hide the smile on his lips anymore, An Rongyu asked about the next destination.Yan Che said that he was planning to take him to set off the Kongming lanterns, while the other four went to see the musical fountain.

An Rongyu had occasionally seen people setting off Kongming lanterns by the Qingjiang River before, but he had never played with them.Now that Yan Che was with him, it was naturally his first time happily surrendering himself.

On the way to the small square, Yan Che seemed to be planning to continue popularizing science to the end, and asked like an old professor, "Do you know how the Kongming Lantern came about?"

An Rongyu replied honestly: "Is it related to Zhuge Liang? I don't know the specifics."

Yan Che: "Actually, there are two kinds of legends. One is that when Zhuge Liang was besieged by Sima Yi, he calculated the direction of the wind and placed countless small lanterns like this. Then the soldiers shouted, 'Mr. Zhuge is sitting on a sky lantern to break through' ’, Sima Yi believed it to be true, and led his soldiers to chase after the sky lantern, and Zhuge Liang was able to escape.”

An Rongyu continued to ask: "What about the other one?"

Yan Che: "Another legend is that in the Five Dynasties, there was a woman named Xin Qiniang. When her husband was fighting in Fujian, she made such a sky lantern and used it as a military communication signal. Because the shape of this lantern resembles Zhuge Liang's hat, so it is called 'Kongming Lantern'."

An Rongyu nodded, and thoughtfully said: "It seems that it was used for military purposes in the past, but now it is used by ordinary people to make wishes."

Yan Che said with a smile: "The people live and work in peace and contentment. Praying for blessings and making wishes are all spiritual sustenance, in order to achieve both material and psychological perfection."

I didn't expect to put a Kongming lantern to draw out the big truth. This is the teacher Yan I am familiar with - An Rongyu said silently in his heart, so he thought carefully about the wish to be written on the Kongming lantern for a while.

After walking for about 10 minutes, I finally arrived at the small square where the sky lanterns were set off. Because I was catching up with the musical fountain on the other side, there were not many people at this time.Yan Che bought two Kongming lanterns, and An Rong and mysteriously expressed that he would go to the side to secretly write wishes, otherwise it would not work if people looked at them.

Walking to a place ten meters away from Yan Che, after making sure that he was burying his head in writing, An Rongyu tremblingly wrote a few crooked characters: Always by his side.

Yan Che didn't come over until the Kongming lantern slowly rose to mid-air, and asked pitifully, "Can't you really tell me your wish?"

An Rong and his little faces were flushed, even if Yan Che pretended to be pitiful in front of him, he would never miss a single word, so he said cruelly, "Brother, it won't work if you say it."

Yan Che didn't ask any more questions, and remembered that he hadn't used a huge voucher in his hand, so he decided to continue the itinerary that was interrupted by those four people just now: eating glutinous rice balls.

After squeezing for more than ten minutes, they walked to the Lantern Festival venue. Both of them exclaimed that it was indeed the so-called "Tianyuanyuan Banquet". Jujube glutinous rice balls, four-style glutinous rice balls, Leisha glutinous rice balls, brewed rice glutinous rice balls, heart glutinous rice balls, charcoal in the snow, Beijing Lantern Festival, and a chicken shit vine glutinous rice ball that makes people lose their appetite just by looking at the name.

The two looked at each other, obviously they were both ignorant young people who had only eaten black sesame glutinous rice balls. After hesitating for a long time, they went to buy a bowl of chicken shit and rattan glutinous rice balls.

The stall owner looked at the expressions of the two of them, and explained very consciously: "Young man, this chicken dung vine is a kind of plant, also called soil ginseng. It can be used as medicine. It has the effects of clearing away heat, reducing inflammation, detoxifying, moistening the lungs, and refreshing the brain. .It is our special snack in Sanya when it is made into glutinous rice balls. Don’t worry, the more you eat, the better it will be.”

Soon the glutinous rice balls were boiled out of the pot, and the two tasted one suspiciously. When they just put it to their mouths, their brows were almost twisted into twists, and they ate the whole thing with the smell of chicken feces. Afterwards, their mouths were full of fragrance , feel very refreshed.

Immediately afterwards, I went to try the meat-filled glutinous rice balls. Both of them were not picky eaters, and they didn't have any opinions on the sweetness and saltiness of the glutinous rice balls. They all had the same evaluation: delicious.

After eating a few bowls of hot glutinous rice balls, An Rongyu, who was shivering in the cold wind, also felt a little sweaty.Time flies like an arrow, obviously he hasn't seen enough of the scenery around Yan Che, and it's time for him to urge him to go home again.

"It's 10:30, I'll take you home." Although Yan Che's tone was gentle, it didn't leave him any room to refuse.

"Brother, I listen to you."

The temple fair was still going on, and the two chose to take the bus at a nearby station and then transfer to the subway.Leaving this bustling and bustling city full of lights, feasting, and luxury, the streets on the return journey are deserted and there are few pedestrians.Occasionally, a car whizzing by on the speed limit, flying a piece of neon under the scattered street lights.

The author has something to say:

Ah, I have never eaten glutinous rice balls filled with meat.
